Chers collègues,

Je ne pourrais être à Tunis que le dimanche 13 au soir et donc ne pourrais
malheureusement pas participer à la première réunion du bureau.
Salutations distinguées et bonne réunion.

Selon CONGO - Philippe Dam <wsis at iprolink.ch>:

> I received the confirmation that we can have a CSB meeting at 10:30 AM on
> Sunday Morning, before the opening of PrepCom-3.
>
>
>
> The UN security staff will proceed with a bomb clearance at the Kram center,
> which might be over at 8:00 AM on 13 November. Therefore entrance at the
> Kram center will be made possible right after the bomb clearance is
> completed.
>
>
>
> The official opening of the Kram and the flag ceremony will take place at
> 11:00, but I was just told by the UN security officer that access to the
> Kram will be possible to WSIS badge holders from 8:30 at Gate 4, except of
> course if they face serious problems with bomb clearance !

> CSB Meeting agenda – 13 November
>
>
>
> 1.    Speakers at CS slots at PrepCom-3
>
> 2.    Self organisation for CS observers at PrepCom-3, overpasses?
>
> 3.    CS Space issues / Connectivity
>
> 4.    Media/Press Conference(s)
>
> 5.    Interpretation
>
> 6.    Host Country Agreement and immunity issues
>
>
>
>
>
> As said already last night:
>
> 1.    We need to have a process to identify speakers to maximise the time
>
> slots, 15min per day, not per session. We have to give in the names as
> previously in PrepCom one hour before the meeting. The IG Caucus is of
> course well equipped, but there might be other caucuses who want to
> contribute. The Follow up Caucus has not been so active. We have to have
> speaker names before noon on Sunday. Speakers should only speak on
> outstanding issues (brackets),unless supported by many governments for
> opening up agreed language.
>
>
>
> 2.    Since for the moment there are no overpasses for PrepCom we need to
>
> have at least a process if there is too much folks to push in.
>
>
>
> 3.    Could become an issue if we need larger rooms for CS (Plenary)
>
>
>
> 4.    To coordinate with Adina on processes, (particular evtl Press
> Conference on the 15th)
>
>
>
> 5.    We have no interpretation, not even facilities (except Plenary Hall,
> Committee of the Whole room and one or two large rooms) We might on and off
> have the possibility to use one of the official ITU Interpretation teams,
> when not in use. This means a lot of planning ahead.
>
>
>
> 6.    In relation to political pressure on certain side events explore
> intervention and use host country agreement/immunity to maximum. Contact ITU
> and New York legal experts for the Summit
>
>
>
> 7.    Philippe is still collecting information whether we might access Kram
> on
>
> Sunday morning so we could have an evtl meeting between 10-11 am. Sunday
> night will be very late, as some people might be in Hammamet.
